American Honor Killings -
"We refuse to believe honor killings happen in America. They occur in the mountains of Afghanistan, among tribes or—we still think this way, even if we won’t admit it—among primitive people. But the insane impulse behind honor killing is at work in the minds of young men right here. America isn’t organized by clan or tribe or even family. It’s a nation of individuals and of groups based on culture or identity. The seat of honor for men is personal, religious, racial. And the worst affronts to that honor today are gay sexuality, “immodesty” and “decadence.” These killers weren’t outraged because someone made a pass at them. They saw themselves as believers, soldiers, avengers, purifiers, as exemplars of manhood. "
